[Dovecot] Upgrading Dovecot v1.0.10 -> v2.0.9
Hi all,
OK, I admit it. I've seriously neglected our Dovecot installation. I installed version 1.0.10 in Jan 2008, and it has been a great workhorse since then. It has run like a champ, so it was ignored due to higher priority projects. But now it is time to get current with Dovecot, and I really need your help. We are using the mbox mailbox format.
First so I want to upgrade to 2.0.9, since it looks like that is the latest version? It looks like development is still happening on the 1.x line, so do I need to get to the 2.x line? Any comments/suggestions/recommendations on that? I know there are major changes from 1.x -> 2.x..
Also, do I need to go through incremental upgrades? I'm guessing changes have been made to the index files and the dovecot configuration. Do those need to be done in steps, or can I made a major leap forward?
I'd appreciate any input on this project. I need to start planning.
Thanks so much! Jackie

You can jump directly from v1.0 to v2.0, but after v2.0 has touched index files, you shouldn't have v1.0 accessing them anymore.
